Good Post Putts255,
To get all the old oil to drain I have never lifted the rear of the machine but I do pull the rope pull start with the IGNITION OFF a few times as this will cause much more dirty oil to drain. Repeat this a few times.
Also pay close attention to the aluminum drain plug crush washer, they distort and need to be changed/ replaced often, you might just flip it over and get an xtra oil change out of it.
my first oil change was quite black dirty @ 100 miles. It looked clean on the dip stick, but was quite black once it was drained out into the drain pan.
